Xenialpup CE 7.5 / 25 Nov 2017

[sancxjo]

I tested this system in Xenialpup-32 and it worked.

You will need to install two packages - wlanmaker and libnl1.

1. Download them.
2. Remove the fake .gz extension from the name.
3. Click-install them.

Follow the instructions. For example:

Code: Select all

wlanmaker wlan0 sancxjo woof1234 eth0

What model WiFI adapter do you have?

Thank you.
I installed the packages.
I do not have an adapter. I want to buy exactly what it will work.
Judging from this
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/use ... tc/devices
must work adapter TL-WN722N . I think to take it.

In the team, apparently, I will have usb0, since the usb-modem.

Code: Select all

apt-get install iptables

gives an error message.

Please explain. Are you getting internet into your computer through a usb modem? Is this working?

In that case, the command should be

Code: Select all

wlanmaker wlan0 sancxjo woof1234 usb0

But I have never tried this.

Code: Select all

apt-get install iptables

gives an error message.

Xenial already has iptables built-in.

Be aware that some Xenials are missing the drivers for Atheros devices. There are special instructions somewhere for fixing this.

[sancxjo]

Yes, I connect through the USB-modem.
I understood about iptables.
About the adapter you have to think about. The distance is very small enough for me, unnecessary exposure is not necessary.

Code: Select all

wlanmaker wlan0 sancxjo woof1234 usb0
wlan0     No such device

Naturally, there is no adapter right now.

For the TL-WN722N adapter, you may need this driver PET.

And I also found a list of adapters for Ralink rt2800usb

Do you need to install the TL-WN727N adapter?

[rcrsn51]

Do you need to install the TL-WN727N adapter?

There are a number of versions of that model. The newest ones will NOT work with wlanmaker.

Go here for information.

Back on the provision of programs huh.

Phil I am after epdf or epdfviewer in 64 bit for this release . Is it possible to add it to the quickpet?

qepdf does not give the text copy option which I often need to place quotes in posts . Well not in any easy way anyhow

[sancxjo]

Strangely among the popular there is no TL-WL821N, which has 300Mbps

How come xenialpup has no boot image logo like tahrpup did? or does it have one or it doesn't show up on mine? All I see after bios is a lot of text "loading initrd.gz ... ready. early console in extract_kernel, input data, etc, etc, etc, decompressing linux.. booting the kernel.

And then after above.. xenialpup x.x.x.x linux .. waiting for usb storage and then the .sfs files start to load, shouldn't there be a logo before this?

Also, what are the default settings with regards to repositories selection in PPM, I think changed something and now it can't find subliminal, it showed it earlier but when I updated it, I must have clicked or unclicked something?

How come xenialpup has no boot image logo like tahrpup did?

How is it installed?
Details???
On what?
Used what to install it?

As a live CD, burned as a iso image to the CD, it should boot to a menu, with the Xenialpup boot logo image.

Installed any other way or device, by using some other installer. It may be booting using a boot loader other than what comes with a live CD install.

For PPM problem.
How is Xenialpup installed?
Frugal or full?

[jss83]

I downloaded the iso on windows system then burned the iso to a smaller usb(1gb) using rufus then took it to the computer with bigger usb(16gb) and installed it there using the puppy installer by booting into the live system on the first partiton of the usb and I use the second partition for the save file.

It did show a boot image logo on the 1gb usb live system iirc a blue one but doesn't shows it on the installed one. And this is the same install with which I am having trouble with PPM. I guess that is frugal install.

[bigpup]

Looks like a different boot loader is being used on that install and that boot loader does not have the logo.
puppy installer uses a generic boot loader when it does installs to USB flash drives.

[bigpup]

PPM repository info is in these files.
There are two local files that you need to know about:
/root/.packages/DISTRO_PET_REPOS
/root/.packages/DISTRO_COMPAT_REPOS

Thanks.

What is the status of this project?

[RetroTechGuy]

I tested this system in Xenialpup-32 and it worked.

Out of curiosity, did you attempt to have the live boot CD install to a piece of media? I still use the built in Puppy installer, and when I tried that it left things "not quite right" (and is apparently missing pieces when it copies files -- don't recall the errors right now).

I haven't gotten back to playing with it (too many other irons in the fire, it seems).

[april]

Great Thanks they don't make that well known.

[olddog]

Great Thanks they don't make that well known.

Like much else.

That's why it's nice that people are prepared to help you.

Hi!.
It took me a while to get the adapter TP-WN722N.
Something strange is happening. The Android connects, but immediately breaks and receives an IP address. And so cyclically. I already installed the driver, it's still working.
Could it be the core case? The package says: "Linux (kernel 2.6.18 ~ 3.19.3) " And I'm like 4.4.95.
